I don't believe that anyone has said that shorty has to pay a dividend. What has been explained is that the dividend might be a trigger to expose a NSS position in FFGO. If a dividend were declared and NMGL A&B's were ready to be exchanged for shares of FFGO shares there could be a huge problem. The NMGL A&Bs were based on the shares that are SUPPOSED to exist in FFGO. If there are more shares of FFGO (naked shorted or very late FTDs LOL) then those additional shares would need to be covered. Which leads us to your possible misinterpretation of shorty paying a dividend. Shorty might be forced to cover at the dividend price for all his NSS shares of FFGO. Shorty is not paying a dividend. Shorty is covering his NSS at a dividend price. Two entirely different things. I am glad we could clear that up.
Who is pursuing NSS?? We are trying whether you can see it clearly or not. Phone calls, emails, etc. We are not setting the world on fire with our progress, but, I see a slow but steady effort being made. The time may be running out, but, there may no time limit or statute of limitations for NSS. If you can link a time limit for prosecuting NSS then let me know.
